Exhibit 10.73


 


ADVISORY SERVICES AGREEMENT


 


THIS AGREEMENT (“Agreement”)
is entered into as of August 12, 2011 (the “Effective Date”) by and between COMMUNICATION INTELLIGENCE CORPORATION,
a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and FIRSTGLOBAL PARTNERS LLC, an Arizona limited liability company (“FGP”).


 


1.                 
Advisory Services. On the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Company hereby engages FGP to
perform those advisory services as shall be mutually determined by the parties (the “Services”), during the term hereof,
and FGP hereby accepts such engagement. FGP agrees and acknowledges that all Services provided under this Agreement shall be provided
by William Keiper (“Keiper”). Keiper will report to the Company’s Board of Directors or any other duly appointed
representatives of the Company with respect to the Services. The Company acknowledges that FGP does not provide any advice, recommendations
or other communication which is or may be construed as legal, real estate, tax, accounting, estate planning, securities, financial
or other advice requiring professional licensure or certification.


 


2.                 
Term of Agreement. The Services shall extend during a period commencing on the Effective Date and
ending two (2) years thereafter, unless terminated earlier pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, whichever first occurs (the
“Initial Term”). Thereafter, this Agreement will automatically renew for additional one (1) year periods (each a “Renewal
Term”) upon the same terms and conditions unless either party notifies the other in writing of its intent to terminate at
least ninety (90) days prior to the expiration of the then-current Term. The duration of the Initial Term and any Renewal Terms
is collectively referred to herein as the “Term”. Either party may terminate this Agreement in writing for no reason
by giving ninety (90) days prior written notice to the other party. If either party terminates this Agreement for no reason, the
Company shall be obligated to pay, and shall pay, all fees and compensation accrued through the date of such written notice and
fees and compensation for all Services performed in the ninety (90) day period subsequent to the date of such written notice,
pursuant to the payment terms defined in Exhibit A. The Company may terminate this Agreement in writing immediately at any time
for Cause. If the Company terminates this Agreement for Cause, the Company shall not be obligated to pay any fees or compensation
to FGP after the date of termination. For purposes of this Agreement, “Cause” shall mean FGP’s or Keiper’s:
(i) material breach of this Agreement; (ii) commission of an act of fraud, embezzlement, dishonesty or involving moral turpitude;
or (iii) willful misconduct or gross negligence that causes or could be expected to cause material injury to the business or reputation
of the Company. This Agreement shall terminate automatically if either party becomes insolvent, files or has filed against it
a petition in bankruptcy or is adjudicated a bankrupt, makes an assignment for the benefit of its creditors, or has a receiver
or trustee appointed for its business or properties.

3.                 
Independent FGP Status. FGP is an independent contractor. In the performance of the Services provided
in this Agreement, FGP agrees that the Services shall be conducted in full compliance with any and all applicable laws, rules,
and regulations adopted or promulgated by any governmental agency or regulatory body, both state and federal. As such, the Company
shall not take any action or provide FGP or Keiper with any benefits or commitments inconsistent with FGP’s independent
contractor status. Neither FGP nor any employee or members of FGP is entitled to participate in any pension plans, bonus, stock
or similar plans, vacation or sick leave, or any similar benefits that the Company provides to its employees. The Company shall
not withhold amounts of applicable federal and state income, withholding and employment taxes from the compensation to be paid
to FGP under this Agreement. FGP shall be solely responsible for and shall pay all state and federal payroll taxes, withholding
or assessments with respect to all compensation received by FGP in connection with performing the Services. In addition, FGP acknowledges
that the Company will neither make disability insurance contributions on behalf of FGP nor obtain workers’ compensation
insurance on behalf of FGP or its personnel. Subject to the limitations described in section 17 hereof, FGP will indemnify and
hold harmless the Company and its directors, officers, employees, representatives and advisors from any liability, cost or expense
(including reasonable attorney fees) incurred by the Company or fine or other amounts paid in settlement by the Company arising
out of any payments made to FGP under this Agreement, including the obligation to pay withholding taxes.


 


4.                 
Compensation.

4.2             
Expenses. Except as otherwise provided herein, FGP shall furnish, at FGP’s own expense, all materials
and equipment necessary to carry out the terms of this Agreement. The Company agrees to pay FGP for reasonable and documented out
of pocket expenses incurred for Services rendered by FGP during the term of the Agreement. FGP shall obtain written approval of
the Company prior to incurring any significant expense. The Company shall reimburse FGP periodically (but no more frequently than
monthly), upon request by FGP and after the submission of an expense report with receipts.

of the Company. All Proprietary Information shall be the sole property of the Company and its assigns or a third party,
as applicable, and the Company and its assigns or such third party shall be the sole owner of all patents and other rights in
connection with such Proprietary Information. FGP hereby assigns to the Company any rights FGP may have or acquire in any or
all Proprietary Information. During the term of FGP providing Services to the Company and at all times thereafter, FGP will
keep in confidence and trust all Proprietary Information, and FGP will not directly or indirectly disclose, sell, use,
lecture upon or publish any Proprietary Information or anything relating to it without the written consent of the Company,
except as may be necessary in the ordinary course of performing Services for the Company.

6.                 
Ownership of Ideas and Inventions.


 


6.1              Ownership
of Inventions. FGP agrees that any and all Inventions shall be the sole property of the Company and its assigns, and the
Company and its assigns shall be the sole owner of all patents, trademarks, copyrights and other rights in connection with
such Inventions.


 


6.2              Assignment
of Inventions. FGP hereby assigns to the Company any rights FGP may have or acquire in Inventions. In addition, to the
extent permitted by federal copyright law, the parties agree that any works resulting from the Services performed by FGP
under this Agreement shall be “works for hire” as defined in the federal copyright law. FGP hereby assigns to the
Company all of FGP’s works of authorship and all rights of copyright, trademark, patent and other such rights,

the Company’s expense) to obtain and from time to time enforce Intellectual Property Rights in connection with
Inventions in any and all countries. To that end, FGP will perform any further acts and execute and deliver all documents for
use in applying for and obtaining such Intellectual Property Rights thereon and enforcing the same, as the Company may
desire, together with any assignments of such protections to the Company or persons designated by it. FGP’s obligation
to assist the Company in obtaining and enforcing Intellectual Property Rights in connection with Inventions in any and all
countries shall continue beyond the termination of this Agreement, but, after such termination, the Company shall compensate
FGP at a reasonable rate for time actually spent by FGP at the Company’s request on such assistance. FGP acknowledges
that it may be unavailable when the Company needs to secure FGP’s signature for lawful and necessary documents required
to apply for or execute any Intellectual Property Rights with respect to Inventions (including renewals, extensions,
continuations, divisions or continuations in part of patent applications).In the event the Company is unable to secure
FGP’s signature for any reason, FGP agrees to irrevocably designate and appoint the Company and its duly
authorized officers and agents, as FGP’s agents and attorneys-in-fact, to act for and in FGP’s behalf and instead
of FGP, to execute and file any such application(s) and to do all other lawfully permitted acts to further the prosecution
and issuance of Intellectual Property Rights in connection with Inventions with the same legal force and effect as if
executed by FGP. The Company shall also have the right to keep any and all Inventions as trade secrets. FGP hereby waives and
quitclaims any rights to the Intellectual Property Rights. Any and all claims of any nature whatsoever, which FGP now or may
hereafter have for infringement of Intellectual Property Rights are assigned hereunder to the Company.

7.                 
Disclosure of Conflicting Obligations. FGP agrees to inform the Company in writing of any apparent
conflict between FGP’s work for the Company and (i) any obligations FGP may have to preserve the confidentiality of another’s
proprietary information or materials, or (ii) any rights (other than those described above) FGP claims to any patents, copyrights,
trade secrets, or other discoveries, inventions, ideas, know-how, techniques, methods, processes or other proprietary information
or materials, before performing that work. Otherwise, the Company may conclude that no such conflict exists and FGP agrees thereafter
to make no such claim against the Company. The Company shall receive such disclosures in confidence.


 


8.                 
Warranties and Indemnification.


 


8.1             
FGP hereby represents and warrants that it has the full right and authority to perform its obligations and to grant
the rights and licenses herein granted, and that it has neither assigned nor otherwise entered into an agreement by which it purports
to assign any right, title, or interest to any technology or intellectual property right that would conflict with its obligations
under this Agreement. FGP covenants and agrees that it shall not enter into any such agreements.


 


8.2             
Subject to the limitations described in section 17 hereof, FGP shall defend, and indemnify and hold the Company harmless
from and against any and all claims, injuries, damages, obligations, liabilities, causes of action, judgment and costs including
reasonable attorneys’ fees, arising out of or in connection with, either directly or indirectly, any act or omission of FGP
in the performance of the Services under this Agreement, or any other act or omission by or under the direction of FGP or its employees
or agents in the performance of the Services under this Agreement. This indemnification includes, but is not limited to, any intentional,
reckless, negligent, fraudulent or criminal act of FGP or of any director, officer, employee, agent or third party of FGP within
the scope of this Agreement.


 


9.                 
Return of Materials. Upon the request of the Company, but in any event upon termination of this Agreement,
FGP shall surrender to the Company all memoranda, notes, records, drawings, manuals, computer software, and other documents or
materials, and all copies thereof, pertaining to the Confidential Information and/or materials marked “Proprietary”
or “Confidential,” furnished by the Company to FGP or Keiper. This section is intended to apply to all materials made
or compiled by FGP or Keiper, as well as to all materials furnished to FGP by the Company or by anyone else, that pertain to the
Confidential Information as it is defined herein.


 


10.             
Soliciting Customers After Termination of Agreement.


 


10.1         
FGP acknowledges and agrees that the names and addresses of the Company’s customers constitute Company trade
secrets and that the sale or unauthorized use or disclosure of any of the Company’s trade secrets of Confidential Information
obtained by FGP or Keiper during the course of the Agreement with the Company constitutes unfair competition with the Company.


 


10.2         
For the term of this Agreement and for a period of one year immediately following the termination of this Agreement,
FGP agrees not to directly or indirectly make known to any person, firm, or corporation the names or addresses of any of the customers
the Company or any other information pertaining to them, solicit, take away, or attempt to solicit, or take away any of the customers
of the Company on whom FGP called or with whom FGP became acquainted during the course of the Agreement with the Company, either
for itself or for any other person, firm or corporation.


 






    	Page 5 of 9



    	 



    

 


11.             
Soliciting Employees. For a period of one year immediately following the termination of this Agreement,
FGP shall not, on FGP’s behalf, or on behalf of any other entity, disrupt, damage, impair or interfere with the Company
by soliciting the employment or services of any employees of the Company who are employed, by the Company at the time of the termination
of this Agreement.


 


12.             
Restriction on Competition. During the term of this Agreement, FGP shall not, directly or indirectly,
either as an FGP employee, employer, agent, principal, partner, stockholder, corporate officer, director, or in any other individual
or representative capacity, engage or participate in any competitive activity relating to the business of the Company without
the Company’s prior written consent.


 


13.             
Restriction on Disclosure. During and after the termination of this Agreement, FGP shall not work,
directly or indirectly, as an employee, consultant, independent contractor, or in any other manner for any customer of the Company
to whom FGP has provided consulting services on behalf of the Company where FGP has gained special technical skills in reliance
upon the Company’s trade secrets and such employment would lead to either misappropriation or use of the Company’s
trade secrets or Confidential Information.


 


14.             
Assignment. FGP’s duties hereunder may not be assigned or in any manner transferred by FGP,
but rather, it is agreed by and between the Company and FGP that the duties to be performed hereunder shall be rendered by Keiper
only. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon FGP, Keiper and his estate, the Company, including any
successor(s) to the Company.


 


15.             
Governing Law and Forum. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, any controversy between the
parties arising out of this Agreement shall be submitted to the American Arbitration Association for binding arbitration in San
Mateo County, California. Subject to the limitations described in section 17 hereof, in any arbitration proceeding, the party
determined to be the prevailing party shall be entitled to receive, in addition to any other award, attorneys’ fees and
all other expenses incurred in connection with the proceeding. The provisions of Sections 1282.6, 1283, and 1283.05 of the California
Code of Civil Procedure apply to the arbitration. The arbitrator shall not have any power to alter, amend, modify or change any
of the terms of this Agreement nor to grant any remedy which is either prohibited by the terms of this Agreement, or not available
in a court of law. No action at law or in equity based upon any claim arising out of or related to this Agreement shall be instituted
in any court by any party except (a) an action to compel arbitration pursuant to this Section 15 or (b) an action to enforce and
award obtained in an arbitration proceeding in accordance with this Section 15.


 






    	Page 6 of 9



    	 



    

 


16.             
Remedies. FGP agrees that the unauthorized disclosure or use of the Confidential Information in
violation of this Agreement may cause irreparable harm and significant injury that may be difficult to ascertain. Because a remedy
at law or in damages may be inadequate and FGP’s services are personal and unique, FGP agrees that the Company shall have
the right to apply to any court of competent jurisdiction in San Mateo County for an order requiring specific performance, restraining
any breach or threatened breach of this Agreement and for any other equitable relief the Company deems appropriate. This right
shall be in the addition to any other remedy available to the Company in arbitration proceedings, set forth above.


 


17.             
Limitation of Liability. Irrespective of any other provisions of this Agreement, FGP shall not
be liable to the Company for any acts or omissions in the performance of FGP’s services hereunder (or on the part of the
agents or employees of FGP), except when said acts or omissions are due to FGP’s willful misconduct or gross negligence
as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction. Other than in the case of willful misconduct or gross negligence, the Company
shall hold FGP free and harmless from any obligations, costs, claims, judgments, attorneys’ fees and other expenses arising
from or relating to the Services rendered by FGP hereunder. In no event shall FGP’s or Keiper’s liability hereunder
exceed the amount of Fees actually paid by the Company to FGP under this Agreement. IN NO EVENT WILL EITHER PARTY BE LIABLE TO
THE OTHER OR ANY PERSON FOR ANY SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, PUNITIVE OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OR EXPENSES, WHETHER BASED ON BREACH OF
CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), PRODUCT LIABILITY, OR OTHERWISE, AND WHETHER OR NOT ANY PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY
OF SUCH DAMAGE.


 


18.              Waiver.
The waiver by Company of a breach of any provision of this Agreement by FGP shall not operate or be construed as a waiver of
any subsequent breach by FGP.


 


19.              Invalidity
of Any Provisions. For purposes of enforcing this Agreement, all sections of this Agreement shall be construed as
covenants independent of one another and as obligations distinct from all other contracts and agreements between the parties
hereto. If any provision of this Agreement is held by an arbitrator selected under the terms of this Agreement to be so broad
in scope or duration, as to be unenforceable, such provision or portion thereof shall be interpreted to be only so broad as
is enforceable. If any provisions of this Agreement are held to be void or unenforceable for any reason, the
remaining provisions shall nevertheless continue in full force without being impaired or invalidated in any way.


 


20.             
Entire Agreement. This Agreement is intended by the parties hereto to be the final expression
of their agreement, and it constitutes the full and entire understanding between the parties with respect to the subject matter
hereof, and expressly supersedes any oral or written representations, statements, or agreements heretofore made. This Agreement
may be amended only in a writing signed by the parties to this Agreement.


 


21.              Notices.
Any notice to be given hereunder by either party to the other may be effected either by delivery of written notice in person
or by mail, registered or certified, postage prepaid, with return receipt requested, or by electronic mail, with evidence via
“mail sent” indicator in either party’s electronic mail software that such message was sent in good faith
and that each party reads electronic mail on as regular a basis as conventional mail. Electronic mailed notices shall be
deemed communicated as of three (3) days after mailing.
